More printing

It has been a busy weekend in the studio with more of my City & Guilds students joining me for a couple of days of printing and stencilling.

Lots of techniques and art materials were explored to see what effects could be made on paper and fabric.

This is a gallery of photos from the day.

  

 

I had a lovely time as well using one wooden printing block to make these  printed charm squares.

 Now to decide what to make with them

City & Guilds News

Many moons have passed since my last blog post but believe me I have been busy. 

Nine students have completed their City & Guilds courses and I would like to congratulate them for all their hard work.

Level 1 Hand Embroidery - Helen Macintosh and Helen Atkinson

Level 1 Patchwork & Quilting - Anne Wilkinson, Wendy Harkness, Sue Ives, Clare Raymond Barker and Jon Massey

Level 2 Patchwork & Quilting - Paula Tidman and Deborah Moore.

Their work has been a joy to go through and I look forward to seeing them progress in the future. I will post pictures of their work soon.

Meanwhile I have been kept on my toes my by current City & Guilds students. 
We have been having wonderful messy days in my home studio, printing, silk screen, thermofax, mono printing and block printing. We have also been stencilling and using discharge pastes. 

We are busy again this weekend and I am amazed at all the work that my students produce in such a short time.

In My Garden BOTM Quilt

It has been many moons since my last blog post but believe me it has been a super busy time. 

One very exciting project which I can now share is my Block of the Month Quilt exclusive to  Tudor Rose Patchwork

I was in my garden when I started this design, drawing and sketching ideas in my sketchbook. Flowers, butterflies, vegetables and lots of other garden inspiration. The only block I designed straight to computer was the flower pots as I didn't have my sketchbook to hand. 

Each month there is a new appliqué pattern and it builds up into this fun quilt.

In My Garden Block of the Month Pattern exclusive to Tudor Rose Patchwork

Today it is being launched at the Tudor Rose Stand at the Festival of Quilts at the NEC, Birmingham. 

Pop by and see the finished quilt on their stand. 

I am looking forward to being at the FOQ on Saturday and seeing all the wonderful quilts on display.

It was also great to hear the FOQ mentioned on the Radio 2 Chris Evans show this morning. You can never have too much quilting chat.

Happy Quilting
